Improvement of honey bees for intensification of wax production

Obtaining the maximum amount of wax from honey bees is basis beekeeping technological processes. However, intensification its production leads to partial exhaustion bee's body. Therefore, today question researching factors that will contribute their body's recovery relevant. The article provides data on influence strength colonies, type, and feed functional state when obtaining wax. obtained research results indicate secretion proportionally dependent presence in nature intensity carbohydrate (nectar, sugar syrup) protein (pollen) food entering nest. As daily nectar intake increases for every 250 g, productivity a 700 g family by an average 43.18 (from 35.62 54.14 g). When receiving pollen 500–550 190–210 g. In complete absence collection, stops. It was established large honeycombed practically does not affect bees' secretion. At same level supply, with increase family, total due number wax-producing workers. From colonies weighing 1.5 4.5 kg, 667.05 1484.55 were obtained, respectively. time, individual wax-secreting activity, which calculated per unit mass workers, decreases 444.7 329.9 wax/1 kg bees. This decrease nutrition individuals, as also released simultaneously proportional young colonies.
